Shoulder Dystocia Injury Claims

Detroit Birth Injury Attorney - (248) 793-2010

Shoulder dystocia is a complication which can occur at birth where a child’s
shoulders become stuck during delivery, putting tremendous stress on joints,
nerves, and muscles. This is a serious condition which in severe cases
can lead to permanent damage to both the child and mother. Unfortunately,
this injury can be the result of a preventable hospital error or negligent
act. At Goodman Acker P.C., we believe that doctors and hospital staff
who provide less than the utmost care should be held responsible for their
actions. If your child is suffering from shoulder dystocia, our Detroit
birth injury attorneys can help you get every penny that your family deserves.

Do I Have a Medical Malpractice Case?

Childbirth can be tremendously complex, with the potential for a countless
number of errors; however, not all injuries will constitute a birth injury
claim. It must be shown that a hospital worker acted negligently, for
example, if a doctor uses needlessly risky techniques or fails to recognize
or act on the warning signs of shoulder dystocia. During any visit to
the hospital, doctors, nurses, and staff have a duty to provide a certain
standard of care to patients. We can help you to understand if a breach
of this duty led to your child’s injuries. If you want to know where
you stand in your case, we want to hear from you.

Birth injuries such as shoulder dystocia typically fall under the legal
umbrella of medical malpractice and in the wake of an injury, it is vital
to act quickly. You may have only a limited amount of time to take legal
action and if this deadline passes, you may lose your ability to seek
monetary compensation. If you are ready to hold negligent hospital staff
accountable for their actions, do not hesitate to contact our firm. We
can help you understand each step in the claims process as well as your
legal options.

and we can fight aggressively for your family.
